Drone technology is having a tremendous economic impact on the field of agriculture because for the first time in history farmers have real-time access to videos and sensory surveillance of their crops.
By far the biggest return on investment for farmers has been in their ability to identify unhealthy plants as early as possible, to prevent the spread of diseases before things get out of hand.
Other problems such as nutritional deficiencies, lack » Read more

Solar energy
Thousands of dairy farmers rely on solar energy today to run their operations for a variety of reasons, but most notable: cost reduction.Renewable energy equipment helps Canadian farms save thousands of dollars, over time. These energy projects usually take a small amount of space, a few thousands of dollars to start, and don’t take acres of usable farmland away from crops and animals.
We think it’s great that agriculture executives around » Read more
